The Sui Southern Gas Company on Friday announced that the gas supply to the non-export industries of Sindh and Balochistan will be suspended from December 11 (Saturday) to ensure supply to domestic consumers.
A statement issued by the SSGC spokesperson stated that the decision has been made in line with the gas load management plan approved by the Ministry of Energy (Petroleum Division). Domestic consumers are a priority under the plan.
“The decision to discontinue the supply to non-export industries has been made to fulfil the requirement of domestic consumers [especially in Balochistan which is facing extremely cold weather],” the statement read.
The supply will remain suspended to the general industries till further orders. However, the supply to the zero-rated export industries including the captive power plants and fertilizer sector would continue, it added.
